The view follows the rocky shore at Red Rocks, where layered red-brown ledges meet the choppy water of Lake Champlain. A dense stand of evergreen and birch trees lines the bank, and a pale sunset sky stretches beyond. The caption places the scene at Burlington, Vt., a lakefront city whose shoreline was a popular destination for scenic views in the early twentieth century. The red sandstone outcrops are the area's defining natural feature.
